Pok?mon Water War! (108)

Pokémon Water War!

On the next Island, Ash & Co. see a Team Of Fire-Fighters consisting of Squirtles, Wartortles and Blastoises. Eager to test it's Skills, Ash's Squirtle gets to train with them...but when an actual fire turns up, training has to become reality. Can Squirtle stand up to the Wartortles?

This was the first Orange Islands episode I saw and let me tell you something, it sucked. I never knew this was the episode after Charizard Chills at the time and would have joyed if Ash had used it to help move the truck blocking Team Blastoise or for anything. This episode even should have given Squirtle the inspiration to evolve Spoiler:

I really liked Captain Adan and his team of wartortles as guest stars. They certainly made a great team in this episode and "The Fire-Ring Squad". I like the competition Squirtle felt with the wartortle leader and how they managed to resolve it in the end. It was especially funny when squirtle and the wartortle leader crashed into each other during the race and rolled across the finish line, and Tracey declared that they broke a land speed record. I do think it was a bit contrived that the blastoise team got held up by a truck that they weren't seen moving until several minutes later, when I"m pretty sure (based on blastoise's size and the number of them) that they could have easily gotten that out of the way much sooner and helped fight the fire, but otherwise that's my only quibble with the episode.

A good filler episode I like when they show Pokemon doing stuff other than battling, also a bunch of Blastoise held up by a overturned bus could have been dealt with better, and Ash could've simply used Charizard to rescue the kid instead of Squirtle and Wartortle going in.

I remember this episode, I used to have it on VC and watch it pretty often. Loved how the Blastoise were too big to approach the fire and how the Squirtle didn't have a powerful enough Water Gun, meaning the Wartortles and Ash's Squirtle had to take action. One of the best fillers in the season.

Seeing Ash and Misty rush in to stop a building that was burning was unnecessary. There was no reason why they needed to do that. It's nice to see Squirtle have an episode dedicated to it including a flashback to the Squirtle Squad as well.
